You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
Image
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
Image
U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
Bono
Image
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
Bono
Image
Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
Image
The human heart is greedy it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.
Bono
Image
It's not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It's not an accident. That's a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.
Bono
Image
As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
Bono
Image
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
Bono
Image
The most powerful idea that's entered the world in the last few thousand years - the idea of grace - is the reason I would like to be a Christian.
Bono
Image
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Image
I love America and I hate it. I'm torn between the two. I have two conflicting visions of America. One is a kind of dream landscape and the other is a kind of black comedy.
Bono
Image
Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it's to have any meaning in this world - and stop being its apologist.
Bono
Image
Anyone that's involved in development has discovered that all the good work that's been done in development has been undone by the AIDS emergency.

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim
Bono

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
Bono
Image
I wish to begin again on a daily basis. To be born again every day is something that I try to do. And I'm deadly serious about that.
Bono
Image
Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
